IMPORTANT
The VIA!dj Installation Manual details the audio, video, IR,
telephone and Ethernet connections required for installing the
VIA!dj.
The VIA!dj User's Guide (enclosed with the unit) must also
be read in its entirety by the dealer/installer in order to
fully understand the VIA!dj's operation and complete the
installation properly.

THE VIA!dj AUDIO & VIDEO OUTPUTS
The VIA!dj has four separate pairs of analog audio outputs plus one digital output. The four analog
outputs (labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4on the VIA! display) are used for whole-house audio distribution. The
digital output (labeled HT on the VIA! display) is tied to the fourth analog output and can be used
to send a digital audio signal to the digital input on a surround sound processor or A/V receiver in
a Home Theater. The Output select buttons are located in the top right corner of the VIA! Touch
Panel display.
Each of the three analog outputs can be accessed independently by any VIA! Touch Panel in any
zone. This is the equivalent of having three separate sources connected to the audio distribution
system, each one loaded with the homeowner's entire music collection, each one capable of being
independently accessed from any zone in the house. Because the music is digitally stored on the
VIA!dj's hard drive, any song, even the same song, can be selected in any zone simultaneously.
For example: If you are listening to a song on output 1 in one room and a person in another room
selects the same song on output 2, that person would hear that song from the beginning. The
song in your room would continue uninterrupted.
THE VIA!dj DISPLAY
Because the VIA!dj has only one video output, it is important to understand what you may be view-
ing on a VIA! Touch Panel at any given moment.
• When first selecting something to play from a VIA! Touch Panel, the music you hear and the
album details displayed will match up.
• If a person in another zone selects the same VIA!dj output that you are listening to, they will
automatically be listening to the same music and viewing the details that you are. Your music
will continue uninterrupted.
• If a person in another zone selects a different VIA!dj output, your music will continue uninter-
rupted but the album on your VIA! Touch Panel will now reflect the selection that was made
by the person in the other zone.
• If you wish to once again view the album details of the music you have selected, simply
press Active.
The Active button re-syncs the video display to the audio output selected in your zone.
